EXPERIMENTS APPLICABLE TO FARM CONDITIONS. 7 



September 14, 8 a. m. Fermentation room 68 F., juice 64.5 F. 

 in all casks. No. 8 in strong fermentation, head forming and extin- 

 guishes match. No. 53, same as No. 8. No. 66 fermenting slowly. 

 No. 73 same as No. 66. 



5 p. m. Fermentation room 68 F. 



September 15. Fermentation room at 8 a. m., 70 F. 



Barrel \o. 8 shows loose, coarse dark foam, temperature 69 F.; 

 No. 53 shows dark foam, temperature 69 F.; No. 66 shows coarse 

 li^lit foam, temperature 69.8 F.; and No. 73 shows coarse light 

 foam, temperature 69.8 F. 



All in stronjr fermentation. Specific gravity, Nos. 53 and 66, 1.045. 

 Readings were not made on the other barrels. 



5 p. m. Temperature of fermenting room, 76 F. Storing hot 

 bottles of sterilized juice in this room has caused rise of temperature. 



September 16, 8.30 a. m. Fermentation room 74 F. Barrels 

 Nos. 8 and 53 show head loose, frothy, disappearing; temperature 

 73.4 F.; Xos. 66 and 73 show almost no head, temperature 74 F. 

 Specific gravity Nos. 8 and 66, 1.039. Readings were not made on 

 the other barrels. 



September 17, 8 a. m. Fermentation room 74 F. Barrels Nos. 

 8 and 53 show a temperature of 76 F.; Nos. 66 and 73, temperature 

 77 F. Foam on all barrels had disappeared. 



September 18. Fermentation room 72 F. Cider in all casks 

 shows temperature of 76 F.; all quiet, did not take specific gravity. 



September 19. Fermentation room 70 F. The casks all show a 

 temperature of 75.2 F. Specific gravity of barrel No. 8, 1.024; No. 

 53, M'-;: No. 66, 1.024; No. 73, 1.021. 



September 0. All are quiet, color of cider ocherous, cloudy. 

 Ferment at ion room 70 F. Temperature in all casks, 73.4 F. No. 

 8 is still fermenting and frothy when drawn. Nos. 53, 66, and 73 are 

 all quiet and without foam when drawn; color pale opalescent, fer- 

 menting >lt\vly. 



September #/ .Fermentation room 70 F. Temperature in all 

 casks 73 F. 



S,],tember ^.Fermentation room 70 F. Temperature in all 

 casks 71.6 F. Specific gravity of barrel No. 8, 1.012; No. 53 ; 1.011; 

 No. 66, 1.013; and No. 73, 1.010. None have precipitated yeasts as 

 much as they should have. 



10 a. m. Racked off a 15-gallon cask from each barrel and left 

 them in the fermenting room; all samples very opalescent and not 

 settled. The original barrels were bunged and left in position, not 

 full. 



September 24. Fermentation room 68 F. All the racked ciders 

 are still fermenting and still opalescent; No. 8 decidedly active. No. 

 73, specific gravity 1.006, others not taken.
